FANNING APPARATUS.

SPECIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 270,123, dated January' 2, 1883.

- Application filed September 7, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern i Be itknown thatI, JACOB REIMERS, of Davenport, in the county of Scott and State of Iowa,

have invented a new and Improved Fanning Apparatus, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of my invention is to provide a new and improved device for supplying rooms with a supply of cool and refreshingair. I

The invention'consist's in a fan-blower provided with a series of tubular arms for conducting the wind or air in different directions. Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a longitudinalsectional elevation of my improved fanning apparatus. Fig. .2 is a longitudinal sectional elevation ofa modification, showing the same attached to the under side of a table. Figs. 3 and 4 show crosssectional elevations of my improved fanning apparatus. Fig. 5 is a longitudinal sectional elevation of the same. Fig. 6 is a sectional plan view of a modification.

A series of wings or blades, A, are mounted on a horizontal shaft, B, within a cylindrical casing, 0, provided with a series of tubular arms, D, which may project upward, downward, sidewise, or diagonally, as may be de sired, and according to where the current of air is to be delivered. The casings G are suspended by means of bails E and rods or chains E from the ceiling; or these casings are attached to the under side of a table, F. The shaft B can be rotated by means of a. clock- .work operated by a spring or weight in abox,

G; or thisshaft can be rotated by means ofa treadle, H. In the modification shown in Fig.

2 the tubular arms D project upward into an ornamental standard, J, on the table, and the upper ends of these-tubular arms are bent hori;

zontally. It the shaft B is rotated, the wings or blades A operate like a rotary fan and produce strongcurrents within the casings G, from where the currents ofair pass through the tubular arms D, and issue from the outer ends of the same and cool the persons below the apparatus or-at the side of it-for instance, when it is secured on the table. 7

If desired, the shaft B can be arranged above the table,and the blades are contained within a box provided with aseriesofarins, U, through which the air escapes. on a heavy base resting on the table F; or the shaft B can be arranged below the table, and

The said box is to rest the arms D of the boxextend to the edges of l ducting the air in different directions, as set v forth.

2. The combination, with the shaft B, of the fan wings or blades A, the casing (J, a series of tubular arms,D,-and a clock-work for rotating the shaft, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.
